1210 PTO stopped and oil started leaking from below PTO shaft

[stpaulhill]

Does it leak oil when the tractor is sitting and not running ? I would be hesitant to move the tractor fearing that further damage would be done.

yes, leaks when tractor is sitting and not running.

Don't drive it. Look, I hate like hell to be the one to say this but chances are good that you are in for some pretty detailed mechanical work.

Hopefully, access to the PTO is external.... but most require that the rear be at least partly disassembled. That means a clean shop as well as a level of mechanical expertise. It isn't expensive, but it is time consuming.

The Hydrostatic drive requires oil both for lubrication and for drive power. They are easily damaged beyond repair if operated with low oil. Hydrostats are too involved for most home mechanics.

The fact that you are even asking the question about moving it tells me that you are going to need some help with this project. Driving it 100 feet with low oil in the Hydrostat can turn a mechanical PTO problem into something impossible to fix. Don't do that.

thanks for the input, i will not be driving it.

Based on all the input I won't be moving it. I'll talk to the dealer in the morning to see if there is something simple I can check. The parts diagram looks fairly straight forward, and seems like it will simple to remove the outbound shaft.

I removed the shafts and the gears on the outbound shaft and counter shaft were tore up. The bigger problem is the rear case cracked below the shafts, I assume the broken pieces of gear got wedged in and busted it. So looking at salvage parts but I think this will be way bigger effort than I can do and maybe not worth hiring someone to do, the parts are no longer available so checking with salvage places now.

OK, now my question is what to do with a ford 1210 that will cost more to fix than it is worth, even with salvage parts. I will put it up for sale as salvage but don't expect to get much. Oh well I didn't pay much for it.

I you want to go through the work you could part it out. These tractors are getting hard to locate parts for.

If you have a good engine, someone would buy it to keep there tractor running. Flywheel, steering box, sheet metal, 4 wheel drive, hydraulic pump and rims are always in demand.

I will try that, I know none of the parts I needed are available anymore.

I see that Wengers has used parts for your model. I see they have a axle housing.

Check there website under used parts.
